DEMANDS OF THE NATIONAL
FARMERS ALLIANCE UPON
CONGRESS.

Below we print in full the demands
made by the National Farmers ALI
ance in convention at Shreveport.
They are sound to the core and show
in ringing language the more impor-
tant purposes of this great body, and
the ends they propose to achieve.
This body was composed of farmers
representing all the Southern States,
and the resolutions appended were
passed unanimously,
Resolved, That we the National
Farmers Alliance and Cooperative
Union of America, in convention as
sembled, advocate and endorse the fol-
lowing principles as in ,acGord with the
sentiments and demands Of the tillers
of the soil:
lst. We demand, first the recDgni
ton, by incorporation. of trades,
unions, cooperative stores and such
other associations as may be organized
by the industrial classes to improve
their financial condition, or promote
their general welfare.
I'd. We demand that the all public
lands be held in small bodies, not ex.
ceeding three hundred and twenty
acres to each purchaser, for actual set
tiers, on easy terms of payment.
Sd. That large bodies of land held
by private individuals or corporations,
shall be assessed for taxation, at such
rates as they are offered to purchasers,
on credit of one, two and three years,
in bodies of one hundred and sixty
acres or less.
4th That whereas, large bodies of
our public lands, have been sold to
foreign capitalists, thus tending to the
establishment of a landed aristocracy
in this country, similar to that which
has reduced the people Of Ireland, and
other monarchical Governments, to
condition of abject serfdom; we de-
mand the passage of laws forbidding
the ownership of lands, by aliens, whose
allegiance belongs. to other nations,
and that the public domain be held as
the heritage Of aur own people and our
children after us.
5th. That all lands forfeitable by
railroads or other corporations, imme-
diately revert to the government and
be declared open for purchase by actual

HEALTHY AND UNHEALT THY
OCCUPATIONS.

The English Registrar General has
made comparison between healthy
and unhealthy occupations. Assum-
ing the normal average death rate of
the community as the unit of COM
parison, and calling it l., 900, particular
occupations may be regarded as healthy
or unhealthy, according as the death
rates among those pursuing them fall
above or below that figure. The most
healthy occupation appears to be that

agricultural laborers, 7Ol; school mas
ters, 7l9; and grocers, coal merchants
paper, lace, and hosiery manufactures,
wheelwrights, ship builders and coal
miners, with all of whom the average
death, rate is under IT'S. The most
unhealthy occupations are the trades
connected with the liquor traffic and
hotel service, with which the death
rate is 2,2O5; following these are gen
eral laborers in London, 1920, coster-
mongers, bankers and street sellers,
1879; innkeepers, ETC., 1921 and
brewers, 1861. After the trades con-
cerned with alcohol, the highest rates
are furnished by occupations that in
volve the breathing of dust-other
than coal dust--and exposure to lead
poisoning. The death-rate among
butchers is also high, l,l7O.-Popular

GREEN MANURING.
\ UMBER y.

What is the effect of given crop
upon the land, and what is the reason
that one crop seems to damage the land
more than other crops are questions
of vital Importance.
A farmer of experience stated to the
writer that he planted fifteen acre
field, with five acres each Of field peas,
corn and sweet potatoes. The corn
was gathered at the usual time; the
peas were picked, and the vines al
lowed to rot on the ground. The
sweet potatoes were dug in October,
and the vines left on the ground. The
entire fifteen acres were plowed during
March and planted in cotton, using
Commercial Fertilizer.
There was marked difference du-
ring the whole season in the size and
appearance of the cotton, and also in
the yield. The portion on which peas
had been grown the previous year pro-
duced nearly as much lint cotton as
was produced on both the corn and po-
tato land The corn land gave nearly
twice as much as the potato land.
What auos the cause2 Does a sweet po-
tato crop impoverish the land =? 1t is
evident that the pea crop benefited and
manured the land, and left i in fine
condition for a cotton crop. The corn
crop did not improve the land, and
the potato crop seems to have actually
damaged it, although large amount
of manure was used in growing the
potatoes, while no manure was used
with the peas, and only a small guam
tity on the corn land The pea vines
and potato vines were both returned to
the land.
1t is the opinion Of the writer that
the cause Of damage by sweet potatoes
is the necessity of turning up the land
in October or November and leaving
it open and loose during the fall and
winter, subject to the sun, wind and
rain. Would not covering Of pine
straw spread at once on the land pre-
vent the difficulty?
Another farmer states that he had a
field covered with grass and weeds; he
plowed strip an acre wide across the
field from corner to corner early IN
November, and was prevented from
completing the breaking until Febru-
ary. The next and the succeeding
crops showed the effect Of the fall
blowing by smaller weed and dimin-
ished cotton crop on the portion
plowed in November. Is fall plowing
in this climate ever beneficial, unless
it is made for a small grain crop?

justice is all we ask at the hands of
the business world.
Reso/red, That we deem it of the
utmost Importance that the churches
and schools of our land should be sus-
tanned that they are the two bed d-rocks
upon which rests the future prosperity
and safety of our country, and that
they are most essential agents in up
holding and perpetuating our free in
stitutions.
Resolued, That we believe in the
advice SO often given, that every
farmer should first raise all supplies
necessary for his own use. Here lies
the independence of the farmer. He
can grow every crop suited to his
wants, SO far as his soil and climate
permits, under his own eye. He is
not dependent upon any one for the
necessaries of life, or even for many of
its luxuries. Recognizing the fact
that some crops fail, or partially fail
every year, we earnestly recommend
diversified farming as the surest rem
edy against such failures, for the
reason that all kinds of crops seldom
fail the same year.
Resolved, That we are impressed
with the conviction that farm laborers
to be successful must be directed by a
level head. They can never arrive at
the standard of successful farmers un-
til they become thoroughly acquainted
with their business. The agricultural
paper is a most important agent in
this work, and no paper will accom-
plish as much for our farmers, of this
State especially, as The PROGRESSIVE
FARMER.

These gentlemen mean business and
business too in the right direction. Let
them have the aid of the whole com

good it will do for the farmers to bring
together their best stock, their best
poultry, specimens of their best field
and garden products, and for the wo-

THE OAK GROVE FAIR,

Supposing that your many readers
are interested in the welfare and sue
cess of Farmers Clubs and Fairs,
desire to give condensed description
of the Bershavia Farmers Club Fair,
which took place on the 2lst ult., at
Oak Grove School House.
The day was beautiful one, and
early in the morning scores of vehicles,
loaded with farmers, their wives and
children, and with the manifold
goodies and beauties of art and nature,
poured in from every direction.
This is not only a vegetable and
grain growing section, but tobacco
fourishes in all of its varied colors and
qualities. A fair demonstration of
this fact was made on huge table
near the center of the many other
magnificent exhibits. Upon this table
we noticed 40 different grades of the
golden leaf as fine as can be produced
in the State of North Carolina. Near
this, four other long tables were groan
ing beneath the weight of numerous
vegetables, fancy cakes, jellies, pre-
serves butter, fruit in it's green state,
as we'll as manufactured in every con-
ceivable preservation.
While it was county Fair, by the
kindness Of the splendid managers
huge table was previously prepared
for Capt. n w. Crafts exhibit from
Shore, Yadkin county, which was
grand and beautiful display Of fine,
vigorous fruit trees and large collec-
ton of handsome fruits, such as pears
and apples and large ears Of corn and
remarkable mammoth turnips and a
case of the most beautiful domestic
wines that had ever been placed be-
fore Farmers Club. The wine was
exhibited in nice clear flint glass wine
bottles, showing beautiful contrast
between a dark red wine and vivid
rose color, while some of the hues
we're of soft snowy white. One of
the most striking features Of Capt.
Crafts display, and one which attracted
more attention than any one object of
the Fair, was two large clear flint
glass jars filled with pure spring water,
in which foated and swan some beau
tiful specimens of that famous fish the
pure scale German carp. Old and
young, men, women and children,
gave this curiosity of natural beauties
their special attention. -
These farmer Fairs, which are SO
interesting and instructive to the
masses Of the people, doubtless would
have never been instituted had it not
been for the publication and distribu
tion of your well-edlted journal, The
PROGRESSIVE FARMER
Evidently Forsyth county has been
stimulated and revived through your
earnest admonition until she stands, in
an agricultural point of view, side by
side with any county in the State.
